Alright brehs /fit/ is being gay

Here is what we know
I weigh 197lbs and have 24% body fat.

I can calculate what I would weigh at ~10% bodyfat and I got pic related. But obviously there is other stuff like water weight included with fat so the number could be greater.

How do I properly include these factors in my equations?

I want to do this like a statistician. I think the word I'm looking for is margin of error?

If you currently weight 197 lbs and 24% of that is fat, you have a lean body weight of 149.72 lbs.

To determine your weight at 10% body fat solve for x:
x/(x+149.72) = .1

Where x is the weight of your body fat.

how are you planning on losing weight? you're going to have to account for muscle as well. 10% bodyfat is actually unhealthy. I'd aim for 10 - 18 if you care about health. otherwise godspeed.

I can see set theory isn't /sci/'s strong point.

Its an open interval

"10 - 18" makes no indication to open/closed.
